saying, or what is being said on their site," stated Matt Colebourne, coComment CEO. "People who spend a lot of time on Facebook and a lot of time commenting on blogs and sites will especially love this -- it's a great way to share your thoughts and bring friends and groups into the topics and conversations that interest you -- while adding a level of
personalization to your home page -- through your views and opinions,
whenever you make a comment anywhere on the Web."

Social media sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Youtube can be very lucrative for SEO efforts. From link building to increasing online traffic to branding, social media sites are getting more and more popular amongst all age groups.

One way to drive traffic from social sites is to show off your blog.

Here's how to add your blog to your Facebook profile:

1. Register and login to facebook.com

2. In the top-left corner, click "Edit" (next to Applications)

3. At the top-right click "Browse More Applications"

4. At the top-right type "blog" or "blogs"into the search box to the right of Application Directory and press enter.

5. Now just choose an application that will post your blog or RSS feed to your Facebook profile and click "Add Application" on the top right of the application's profile.

Note: If Facebook does not recognize your blog or the articles don't link correctly, then try signing up for an account on Feedburner.com to "burn" your feed. Then paste the new burned feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedName ) into the applications settings.
